Have called my work number and when asked by the receptionist what the call is in reference to, caller states that they are calling to say THANK YOU; nothing more than a call back number is left. Caller acts as if she is a personal friend leaving a message.
Call my House phone ( I never give my home number out) ask for me by my legal name. Telemarker. Has to be the Shriners , I all ways tell Telemarketers that I dont do transaction over the phone. and hang up .
Someone from this telephone number just called my home at 8:30 PM and asked for me by name. I asked who it was and the man on the line said he was from the Al-Amin Shriners. I asked how my telephone number was obtained and he said that it is in the white pages. I told him I know that is notlisted because I pay to have my telephone number not listed. Then I hung up.
NOTE: If someone calls you and asks: "Is this (your name)?" -- They do not know you. Either hang up or tell them wrong number, then hang up. Better yet, let your answering machine do it's job if you do not recognize the number.
